Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 47:

Observing the poised and assertive Elyse before her, Zandra noted a marked change. Gone was the meekness Elyse once displayed. Even now, alone with her, Elyse exuded confidence. Not only could Elyse handle herself with grace, but she also adeptly addressed her primary concern as Theo’s mother: ensuring her son married a woman of substance and making it clear that she wouldn’t allow anyone to jeopardize the marriage she arranged for her son in the future.

Elyse didn’t conceal her intention to use Zandra against Kaelyn, and Zandra, astute as ever, recognized it. Yet, rather than feeling angered, she admired Elyse’s strategic thinking. She had become wise.

“It seems you hold quite a grudge against that woman,” Zandra remarked casually, taking a sip of water.

Indeed, she was aware of the woman entangled in Theo and Elyse’s past. However, Theo’s choice of Elyse as his future wife signified his preference. His feelings for Kaelyn were likely nothing more than a reminiscence from their school days. Thus, Zandra didn’t invest much thought into Kaelyn. Moreover, she wasn’t entirely satisfied with Elyse at the time, so witnessing the dissolution of their relationship by Kaelyn wasn’t entirely unwelcome. And true to her expectations, Kaelyn didn’t disappoint. At the wedding, Theo abandoned Elyse, ultimately leading her to marry another man.

Elyse’s words now struck a chord with Zandra. The possibility of Kaelyn disrupting Theo’s marriage once again loomed large, prompting Zandra to adopt a more serious demeanor. If Kaelyn held such sway over Theo, she wouldn’t tolerate it.

As their conversation drew to a close and dishes were nearly served, Zandra paused, her expression grave. “Remember, keep your distance from my son.”

Without awaiting a response, she departed without a backward glance, leaving Elyse seething with anger.

“Damn it! Why hasn’t Theo’s mother changed a bit? So arrogant!” Despite making her stance clear to Zandra, was she still apprehensive that she might lure Theo away? Elyse had been blind by love for three years, not her whole life.
